    GUARDIAN DIAGNOSED AZERBAIJAN

    News.am
    18:38 / 08/18/2009

    Guardian daily recently published article under "Azerbaijani
    authorities interrogate music fans in Eurovision probe" heading.

    "Forty-three Azerbaijani music fans who voted for neighboring Armenia
    in this year's Eurovision song contest have been questioned about their
    'ethnic pride'," the article reads.

    NEWS.am has already reported that Ministry of National Security of
    Azerbaijan (MNS) detects Azerbaijani citizens who voted for Armenia at
    Eurovision-2009. 43 Azerbaijani citizens voted for Arshakyan sisters
    (Armenian contestants). MNS summoned all the mentioned and had a short
    talk of their 'political correctness', 'ethics' and other paramount
    issues Azerbaijani should not neglect. But all this is done in the
    light of "national idea and pride."

    Guardian writes: "Though officials told the BBC that they had &'merely
    invited [voters] to explain' their votes, one fan described a more
    robust interrogation."

    MNS is impotent to realize the whole scope of panhuman values,
    that should be apart of political interests. Demanding to keep the
    'code of honor', Azeri officials deprive the latters of the main
    advantage-free expression of will. Fanaticism 'dazzles' anyone and
    drives him to inadequate actions. The one becomes ill in all senses
    of this word, meanwhile feeling healthy. He attempts to cure 'ill'
    behaving a 'doctor'.

    The matter is, if Azerbaijani authorities display disrespect towards
    their citizens, isn't it immoral to expect antipodean? Fanaticism
    and anti-humanism gives rise to similar phenomenon. True meaning of
    'national pride', 'love for homeland' and 'code of honor' notions
    should be thoroughly considered and one should have a long way to go
    before he fully digests the meaning of these words.
